(remember I am using the "language of faith" meaning I am wording the counsel and teaching "as if" I already believe or am already doing it. All bold type is my insertion.)
- I feel joy when I am able to extend the love of the Savior to others in His way.
- When I offer succor to anyone, the Savior feels it as if I reached out to succor Him.
- When I see the Savior after I die, with all my heart I want Him to say, "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat; I was thristy, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me."
- The Fast is a simple commandment
- to loose the bands of wickedness
- to undo the heavy burdens
- to let the oppressed go free
- to break every yoke
- to draw out my soul and deal my bread to the hungry
- to bring the poor that are cast out to thy house
- to cover the naked
- to not hide from my own flesh
- to satisfy the afflicted soul
with a wonderful, marvelous promise for those in need and for me. - My light shall break forth as the morning
- my health shall spring forth speedily
- my righteousness shall go before me
- the glory of the Lord shall be my rearward (behind me)
- I will call, and the Lord shall answer
- I will cry, and he shall say, Here I am
- my light shall rise in obscurity (being unknown)
- my darkness shall be as the noonday
- the Lord shall guide me continually
- the Lord shall satisfy my soul in drought
- he will make fat my bones
- I will be like a watered garden
- I will be like a spring of water, whose waters fail not
- spiritual power to receive inspiration
- greater capacity to resist temptation
- no more desire to do evil
- My righteousness and closeness to Heavenly Father brings inspiration and spiritual guidance.
- I do all I reasonably can to pray, to fast, and to donate for those in need.
- Failing to fast is a sin of omission with a heavy cost.
- When I fast on days other than Fast Sunday, I still pray to know how to care for the poor and needy.
- My fast offering can heal and change hearts as the recipient of my free-will offering is also moved to reach out to others in need and their hearts are changed.
- I teach the principle of the fast and respect the choice of others to observe it when they have the principle in their heart.
- I claim the great, everlasting blessings of the Fast for myself and my family.
- I also contribute at least monthly to the missionary fund and humanitarian funds.
- The Bishop prays and fast for revelation to know who to help and what help to give; any extra funds go to bless other Church members across the world who are in need.
- The Church of Jesus Christ will continue to grow, even in great tragedy.
- My scriptures are treasured, well-marked with notes, with worn pages from great used.
- Christ understands my needs, pains, and hopes.
GENERAL CONFERENCE CHALLENGE: - Extend the love of the Savior to others in His way – through prayer, fasting and offerings as often as I reasonably can.
- Claim the marvelous blessings of the Fast.
- Study and mark from my paper scriptures.
